I still haven't played an FPS quite as comprehensive as Perfect Dark.

A large campaign that can be played alone, with a friend, or against a friend even
Difficulty settings for the campaign that matter
Highly customizable multiplayer
Great multiplayer maps, some being carryovers from Goldeneye
Large variety of standard and specialized bots
Tons of weapons with multiple functions
Awesome music
Completely optional but still cool training missions.

It's still my favorite FPS game for all of these reasons, and one I remember very fondly.

The XBLA port is basically dead as far as multiplayer is concerned, but it improved on the awkward N64 controls while still keeping everything awesome.

It's a shame that Goldeneye has basically overshadowed it despite being functionally inferior.

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 16 02:05:31 2014 No.1409689 >>1409612 It's a limitation of the controller, really. In the XBLA port you don't even need to use the aim mode.

>>1409612
look at the control options. you can actually aim while moving. hell if you're emulating you can use 2 sticks, or even a mouse

>>1409737
that's because they changed all the textures/models

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 16 02:56:32 2014 No.1409770 >>1409760 Was PDZ really that bad?

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 16 02:58:02 2014 No.1409773 >>1409770 I've only played it for a bit, but it was a real letdown compared to what is still in my opinion the pinnacle of console FPS.

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 16 19:06:42 2014 No.1411046 You guys know of any other game like PD? Havn't played it yet, but Deus Ex seems to be a bit like it. Setting wise anyways.

>>1411046

Setting wise, yeah Deus Ex is probably right there: futuristic first person shooter centered around espionage and corruption with gadgets, but PD is so much more than its campaign.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 00:42:59 2014 No.1411569 >>1411554 Laptop gun. Loading that thing up with ammo, the setting it down as a turret is fun. Cyclone is a close second. Dat mag discharge

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 01:01:17 2014 No.1411603 >>1411586 >Design a gun to prevent camping. >Design camper gun. But yeah especially with the 'auto lockon' or whatever mode 2 was on that gun.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 01:04:17 2014 No.1411606 >>1411586 So many of the guns are iconic. They had your usual standards, but then they had some off the wall shit as well.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 01:06:17 2014 No.1411610 >>1411569 I love throwing a laptop gun behind a corner and waiting for someone to go around it, only to be shot up by two guns at once.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 10:53:17 2014 No.1412148 >>1411969 They were also pretty much unheard of for 3D FPS at the time, you may remember Goldeneye just shoves the gun under the screen and back up.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 10:55:47 2014 No.1412149 >>1412148 On consoles, I mean. I'm aware Half-Life predates Perfect Dark.
